Hi, I successfully built the android app using EAS and downloaded it on my phone. But the file isn’t opening. I’m new to mobile development. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?
Hi @varumi
While it’s possible to convert a .aab
to a .apk
to install on an Android device, it’s a bit tricky.
If you want to test an app on your device before submitting it to the Play Store then it’s easier to build a .apk
and install that.
The default eas.json
has a preview
profile that will build a .apk
that you can install on your device.
i.e. something like:
eas build --platform android --profile preview
When you are ready to submit it to the Play Store you should build a .aab
file and submit that.
eas build --platform android --profile production

Thank you! This worked. Will keep this in mind next time I’m building for internal testing.
